Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CVL and MVL in Hemel Hempstead?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts. It involves a licensed liquidator selling assets and distributing proceeds to creditors, and it ends with the company being struck off. A Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies where directors and shareholders wish to close voluntarily, often to extract retained profits under capital gains tax treatment. Our liquidators in Hemel Hempstead will assess your financial position and recommend the correct procedure.
How much does company liquidation cost in Hemel Hempstead?
Liquidation costs vary depending on company size, asset complexity, and creditor numbers. For a typical small insolvent company, a CVL might cost between £3,000 and £6,000 plus VAT, often paid from company assets. For solvent MVLs, fees can range from £2,500 to £5,000. We provide fixed-fee quotes before you commit, and we never charge directors personally unless agreed. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your company's specific circumstances.
Can a director be held personally liable for company debts during liquidation?
Generally, no. Limited liability protects directors from company debts unless they have signed personal guarantees, acted fraudulently, or traded while insolvent without taking proper steps (wrongful trading). Our liquidators will review your conduct to ensure you have met your statutory duties. If you have followed advice and acted in creditors' interests, you will not face personal liability. We help you avoid common pitfalls that could lead to director disqualification.
How long does a company liquidation take in Hemel Hempstead?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation typically takes 6 to 12 months to complete, including the initial meeting of creditors, asset realisation, and final distribution. The company is usually struck off Companies House within a few weeks of the liquidation's conclusion. A Members' Voluntary Liquidation can be faster, often completed in 3 to 6 months if all assets are easily converted. We provide a clear timeline at the start and keep you updated throughout.
What happens to employees if my company goes into liquidation?
In a CVL, employees are made redundant on the date the liquidation starts. The liquidator becomes responsible for settling employee claims, including unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy pay. These claims are preferential and are paid from company assets or the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service) if assets are insufficient. Our team will guide you on employee communication and ensure all statutory payments are claimed correctly.
Can I start a new company after liquidation in Hemel Hempstead?
Yes, you can start a new business immediately after a CVL, but you must not use the same or a similar company name that suggests a connection with the liquidated company for 12 months, unless you obtain permission from the court or the liquidator. This rule prevents 'phoenix' trading that misleads creditors. Our liquidators can advise on compliant naming and help you structure your new venture properly to avoid future insolvency risks.
